1
A synthetic linear tridecapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with Nle⁴,D-Phe⁷ substitutions (Melanotan I, MT-1), investigated for melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) agonist activity and melanogenic signalling pathway activation. Studied in preclinical models for melanocyte pigment production pathway modulation, cAMP signalling cascade activation, and MC1R binding affinity in comparative α-MSH analogue studies. Used as a research tool in melanocortin receptor pharmacology and melanin biosynthesis pathway research.
